Very nice design for sure. I often use the nord as a controller for the VC when doing lead lines actually. Gotta love the pitch and mod controls on the thing. Just wish the NL2 had bloody aftertouch.

i love the wooden pitch thingy on the nord
i think its much more comfortable then the clasic wheel.

i know nl1 and nl2 are still like, the defining instrument in psytrance. every psy producer has one.

Question for HC. Does the FM section on the Nords and Virus the same?
I think the fm on the nords are little more advanced.

For hard and harsh FM leads I do prefer the Nord. I don't think one is more advanced than the other though. It's more a personal choice issue.

I have made the coolest metalic leads on the Nord, which I don't think I could come close to on the VC.

Maybe I'll do a patch demo MP3 for my Nord2 sounds soon. Actually, I think you can hear some fo the Nord's FM at my soundclick site. The Nord sounds will be layered with other sounds though, but they cut through for sure. The MP3s "Heavy Electronic 1 and 2" you will hear the Nords FM filtered through the VC. Easy to pick though - when you hear the sounds start to scream, that's the Nord.

I was reading the specs on Nl3. Machine could kick some ass

2 or 4 operatorFM, AM, clean sounding, multifilters, Unison gives 5 simultaneous detuned voice...
Imagine a Nl3 with 3 osc +sub, delays, eq and reverbs.

Yeh, a mate of mine has a NL3 back home in ausi. He has been making tracks exclusively on the NL3 (drums from a sampler though). He can get sounds out of it, that are impossible on my NL2.

such as?

Big synced moving sound scapes for one. Maybe the best thing for me to do is ask him if he can put up a track, so i can point out the sounds in particular. I'll mail him now.
